| - OMG, this place is freakin' amazing. It's an all-you-can-eat sushi/japanese restaurant, but it's not a buffet where you grab food that's sitting there for who-knows-how long. Everything is actually made to order, the sushi and sashimi are fresh.
We paid $18.99 (Canadian $!) per person, so about $107 including tax but not tip, we had all of the following for 5 people (yeah, we're pigs):
4 pcs of gyoza
4 pcs of agadeshi tofu
31 pcs of sashimi
5 pcs of nigiri
12 pcs of maki
2 orders of beef short rib (kalbi)
1 order of black pepper beef
1 order of chicken teriyaki
1 order of tonkatsu
1 order of tempura prawns
1 order of fried scallops
1 small bowl of seaweed salad
1 small bowl of spicy bean sprouts
2 small bowls of edemame
4 orders of ice cream (they had green tea, mango, and ginger).
Oh yeah, and soda (unlimited refills) was included as well in the price! Even with all the food we had, it was only a small portion of the very extensive menu that also includes udon, ramen, shabu-shabu, fried rice, etc. Even our carnivore,non-sushi-eating meat-and-potatoes coworker loved this place (he did get 3 meat entrees). The quality of the food is similar to any regular sushi restaurant, and just totally stomps on Todai and other asian buffets I've been to in the bay area.
They had servers taking your order and bringing the food, but they were very good and we got all our orders pretty quickly. Just a quick warning, they do discourage over-ordering by charging you for leftovers, so definitely make sure to bring your appetite (and not your diet).
I do wonder how this place makes any money at all, but I'm definitely going to enjoy it if it's still around next time I'm in town (if it's still here). I travel to the area for work 2-3 times a year, and this place is definitely worth a visit every time.
